The latest figures from local real estate sales show definitively that the Anson County market is trending up. Through the first ten months of 2019, 110 single family homes were sold with an average value of $127, 673, compared to 123 homes sold at an average value of $118,966 in all of 2018. Extrapolated out to a full year, that's a 7+% gain in both sales and price year-over-year. Perhaps even more telling is the change since 2015 when 110 houses were sold at an average price of just $77,444. That's an 18% gain in the number of houses sold and a whopping 65% increase in the average sales price. When compared to average home values in neighboring counties--$237,000 in Union, $142,000 in Stanly--it is clear that Anson still provides an excellent home ownership value for this part of the Charlotte market, but the strong sales figures and increasing home values demonstrate a robust economy and improving economic situation that bode well for future growth and development.
